NetBSD 11.0 Released with Open Security Issues, 11.1 Aimed for Two Months
Key points
- NetBSD 11.0 has been released.
- The release includes known open security issues.
- Installation images are available for various architectures.
- NetBSD 11.1 is planned for release within two months.
NetBSD 11.0 Availability
The NetBSD project has announced the release of NetBSD 11.0. Users can download installation images from the CDN, with specific instructions for ARM-based devices and flash-based media. ISO images are now split into CD-ROM sized and full-sized DVD options.
Acknowledged Security Issues
NetBSD 11.0 ships with open security issues. The project stated that the increase in security vulnerabilities, partly attributed to AI tools, made it impractical to delay the release further to fix all known issues. These open security-related pull requests will be committed to the stable branch shortly after the 11.0 release.
Release Schedule and Process
The 11.0 release experienced delays due to waiting for stable releases of third-party components. The project has streamlined its release process, but manual intervention, such as security officer signing, and network transfer times for various architectures still contribute to the overall duration. The NetBSD team aims to release version 11.1 within the next two months, which will include fixes for the current open security issues.
